I'mI've never biked on fish and chips but I have biked on tar and chip quite a bit.
Freshly chipped road - pretty high chip/tar ratio IMO especially on a road where 90% of the traffic is horse+buggies.
Anyways to get back off topic - Stefan we do have crisps here in the US: these are called potato crisps by the mfgr because they aren't legally allowed to advertise their salted dehydrated potato flakes reconstituted into hyperbolic paraboloid shapes as potato chips.
